If you happen to use procmail for mail filtering you could easily alter 
the rule that filters the mail for this list so a "Reply-To: 
tutor@python.org" can be added (or superseded) with formail.

I have something like this that seems to do the job:

:0:
* ^X-BeenThere: tutor@python.org
| /usr/bin/formail -i "Reply-To: tutor@python.org" >> IN-S-Python
